Bath re-enamelling in Derriton, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Derriton
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Derriton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Derriton
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Why Derriton clients choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Derriton
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How we price bath re-enamelling
